33. Writhing against each other in the great mire of blood and flesh, creating a confused din similar to the tumultuous gleam of the milk ocean churned by Mount Mandara.
यथैव मायासंचारस्तेन तस्य कृतः पुरा ।
तेनापि तस्याशु तथा कृतो बुद्ध्वा स लाघवात् ॥ ३४ ॥
yathaiva māyāsaṃcārastena tasya kṛtaḥ purā ,

34. yathā eva māyāsaṃcāraḥ tena tasya kṛtaḥ purā tena

34. yathā eva tena purā tasya māyāsaṃcāraḥ kṛtaḥ,
tathā api saḥ buddhvā lāghavāt tasya āśu kṛtaḥ
34. Just as an act of illusion (māyā) was performed by him upon that other one previously, so too, understanding the trick, that other one quickly returned the same to him with cleverness.
वेतालास्त्रं ततो दत्ते तेनोत्तस्थुः शवव्रजाः ।
अमूर्धानः समूर्धानो वेताला वेशवल्लिताः ॥ ३५ ॥
vetālāstraṃ tato datte tenottasthuḥ śavavrajāḥ ,

35. tataḥ vetāla-astram datte tena śavavrajāḥ amūrdhānaḥ
samūrdhānaḥ veśavallitāḥ vetālāḥ uttasthuḥ
35. Then he deployed the Vetāla-weapon, and by its power, throngs of corpses rose up. These were vetālās, some headless and some with heads, having entered and taken possession of the bodies.
ततः पिशाचवेतालरूपिकोग्रकबन्धवत् ।
तद्बभूव बलं भीममुर्वीनिगरणक्षमम् ॥ ३६ ॥
tataḥ piśācavetālarūpikograkabandhavat ,

36. tataḥ piśācavetālarūpikograkabandhavat tat

36. tataḥ tat bhīmam balam piśācavetālarūpikograkabandhavat
urvīnigaraṇakṣamam babhūva
36. Then that dreadful army became like terrible, headless trunks in the form of piśācas and vetālās, capable of swallowing the entire earth.
अथेतरोऽपि भूपालो मायां संचार्य तां गुरौ ।
राक्षसास्त्रं ससर्जाथ त्रैलोक्यग्रहणोन्मुखम् ॥ ३७ ॥
athetaro'pi bhūpālo māyāṃ saṃcārya tāṃ gurau ,

37. atha itaraḥ bhūpālaḥ api tām māyām gurau sañcārya
atha trailokyagrahaṇonmukham rākṣasa-astram sasarja
37. Then the other king also, invoking that illusion (māyā) through his preceptor (guru), then released the Rākṣasa-weapon, which was intent on seizing the three worlds.
उदगुः पर्वताकाराः सर्वतः स्थूलराक्षसाः ।
देहमाश्रित्य निष्क्रान्ताः पातालान्नरका इव ॥ ३८ ॥
udaguḥ parvatākārāḥ sarvataḥ sthūlarākṣasāḥ ,

38. parvatākārāḥ sthūlarākṣasāḥ sarvataḥ udaguḥ (te)
deham āśritya narakāḥ iva pātālān niṣkrāntāḥ
38. Huge rākṣasas (demons), mountain-like in form, arose from all sides. Having assumed bodies, they emerged from the netherworlds (pātāla) as if from hells.
अथोदभूद्बलं भीमं ससुरासुरभीतिदम् ।
गर्जद्रक्षोमहानादवाद्यनृत्यत्कबन्धकम् ॥ ३९ ॥

39. atha bhīmam sasurāsurabhītidam

39. Then, a terrible army emerged, striking fear into both gods and demons, where headless trunks danced to the music of the great roars from the roaring Rākṣasas.
मेदोमांसोपदंशाढ्यं रुधिरासवसुन्दरम् ।
क्षीबकूश्माण्डवेतालयक्षताण्डवसुन्दरम् ॥ ४० ॥

40. It was rich with fat and flesh as relishes, beautiful with blood as intoxicating drink, and splendid with the vigorous dance (tāṇḍava) of drunken kūṣmāṇḍas, vetālas, and yakṣas.
कूश्माण्डकोत्ताण्डवदण्डपादक्षुब्धासृगुत्क्षिप्ततरङ्गसिक्तैः ।
संध्याभ्ररागोत्करकोटिकान्ति भूतैरसृक्स्रोतसि दत्तसेतु ॥ ४१ ॥

41. A dam was formed in the stream of blood by these beings, who were drenched by waves of blood splashed up by the agitated, stomping feet of the vigorously dancing kūṣmāṇḍas, and whose radiance was like millions of clusters of crimson twilight clouds.
